Determining the resistance to abrasion of the flexible cladding for armours and automobile structural components with the aid of lab scale tests has become increasingly important. In the present study, three body wear behaviour of flexible green composites comprising of jute in woven fabric form with interleaved natural rubber sheets bonded through rubberized B stage cured Pre pegs have been studied. Flexible composites are fabricated in three different configurations having different layers of jute and rubber. The present study makes use of silica sand as the abrasive medium. The specific wear rate along with loss in mass and volume of the composite due to wear is determined and it was found that specific wear rate is dependant of the sliding distance. Comparing the specific wear rate of all the three stacking sequences, it was found that JRJ stacking sequence provides better wear resistance. Compliant and tough nature of the rubber makes it hard to wear it out through tearing action and also the wear resistance of flexible composites is enhanced with inclusion of rubber. Mechanism of wear in each of the constituent used is studied. The present study serves as a benchmark work for the future research in this area.

Rubber stocks, specially tires, are composed of natural rubber and synthetic polymers and also of several compounding ingredients, such as carbon black, silica, zinc oxide etc. These are generally mixed and vulcanized with additional curing agents, mainly organic in nature, to achieve certain “designing properties” including wear, traction, rolling resistance and handling of tires. Considerable importance is, therefore, attached both by the manufacturers and their competitors to be able to extract, identify and characterize various types of fillers and pigments. Several analytical procedures have been in use to extract, preferentially, these fillers and pigments and subsequently identify and characterize them under a transmission electron microscope.Rubber stocks and tire sections are subjected to heat under nitrogen atmosphere to 550°C for one hour and then cooled under nitrogen to remove polymers, leaving behind carbon black, silica and zinc oxide and 650°C to eliminate carbon blacks, leaving only silica and zinc oxide.

The aim of this paper is to introduce novel dressing with Mikania Micrantha for quick blood clotting and wound healing. When epidermis of human skin is cut or scrapped, sometimes too much bleeding occurs. Excessive bleeding may cause death, if bleeding is not stopped immediately. To promote blood clotting & wound healing natural based bio materials are still insufficient in medical textile sector. To fill up this scarcity, woven fabric treated with Mikania micrantha leaf juice & leaf powder was examined. M. micrantha exhibits good blood clotting time in comparison with available dressing materials. Woven fabric (bandage) that contains M. micrantha can be used for cut wounds healing purpose. The experiments were carried out in environment friendly way which indicates the production & processing of these dressing materials can have enormous contribution to sustainable operations and products.
